PRACTICING GOD’S GENTLE GRACE

Colossians 3:12-14 King James Version
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!

There's something very interesting about Ephesians 4, especially these first few verses of this chapter that not only challenged me, but also motivate me to want to walk in unity, worthy of my savior. I want to respond and live with lowliness, gentleness, longsuffering, and bear with my imperfect brothers and sisters in love, realizing that I'm no better than anyone else. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional are so very important to me right now, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please carefully read these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that God will not only challenge you but will encourage you through them.

How have you experienced God’s grace and truth in gentle, indirect ways?

What I'd like to do right now my friends, is share some thoughts on what I think it means to practice and live out God's gentle grace in our lives, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight. I pray that it makes you think about what it means to live out His gentle grace in your life, but also what it means to live and walk worthy of the calling that God has given us, especially when we are speaking the truth in love. Come join me in this vlog and see just what I mean! 😊

As I close this post for tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it challenges to live out and seek God's gentle ways in your life.

How can His gentle ways help you relate to others?

My prayer for all of you, is that You will learn to seek the gentle ways that reveal God's goodness, grace, and truth in your life, so that you will learn to be true imitators of God. Be willing to show meekness, humility, so that Christ Jesus is seen in you. Remember my friends, that meekness is not weakness, but it is power under control, and that when we give that control to God, He can do wonderful things with it. Most of all, ask God every day to help you find not only patients, but ask him to give you the ability to speak the truth with a loving heart. To ask God every day to give you his words to speak and not your own, when you deal with others, so that you are truly endeavoring to keep the “unity of the spirit in the bond of peace” not just with fellow believers, but also with those who are on the outside. It's like I stated, we need to remember that we're the only example of Christ that this last World sees, so we want to make sure that we're representing Him well.
UNTIL MONDAY:
HAVE A VERY SWEET AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
